home.

i cant tell you how much i missed my house. my bed, me couch, my room, even my toilet.

its was a looong trip home. lost my phone in the airport so i have been without a phone for like 2 days...ah... luckly they found it and are mailing it back to me! so i should see it soon.

over all the trip was super fun which is good cause i was super not into going before cause i thought it was going to be lame, and i was missing a lot at church and 14 days of my summer were going to e taken away from me.

but it eneded up being great! i thought i was doing to like new yourk the most then DC then the hut... other way around surprisingly. i loveeeddd the hut (it turned out to be a cottage and was sooo darling) then DC and new york last. i still loved new york a lot. and i still want to live therer when i grow up, but i liked the site seeing in DC and the cottage was super fun.

it was great to spend time as a family the 6 of us cause we dont get to do that often since the brothers are getting so old. so it ws really a blessing that we were all together.

on another note. i am sooooo tierd. im wanting to goto bed at 9 and am waking up at 6.

last night i went to bed at 1 and woke up at 8!! what the heck. i know my body is more tierd than that and it wants to sleep but it is confused so im really out of everything.

yup :) cant wait for the rest of summer! camp! and fun stuf at church! wow this willbe great :)

love, maddie

day 7, 8, and 9.

ok i promised pictures so here they are :) and there are some of the whole family, uh i the one without a beard, no Mohawk, i dont have huge muscles, and uh im the girl in all the pictures.

you know i thought i would clear things up for you... just in case you didnt know, to be helpful...alright you got it.

i think this is the firsts and only whole family picture all trip!

the 4 kids on a carriage ride

on a boat thing

incase you did not know us 4 kids are dorks

help im stuck (wow that was generic)

it just fits in my hands. i dont even know what happened

so i was in a hut and we did not have wifi so it was difficult.

basically as i said we were in a hut...so we walked around williamsburg (a little colonial town and its almost exactly like how it was back in the day.) that was not my favorite but the hut was comfy. the beds were great! :) that was my favorite part.

then we drove a million hours, like 9 ish and it was a long long ride. and we got turned around and drove south away from new york for an hour and didnt realize we were going the wrong way so we had to turn around and drive back up north for another hour...that was excruciating.

and with that to say...I LOVE NEW YORK! its so fun and vibrant. come on its the city that never sleep! i love the people, the lights, taxis, traffic, fashion...its just all so fun :) and now you see why i have been saying i want to live here for the past 4 months :) i cant wait till im out of high school!! and ya... so im having fun :)

love, maddie
